Using Open Standards for Behavior Models to Gain Performance in the Virtual Commissioning Simulation

摘要

In actual engineering processes of new plants in the discrete manufacturing, Virtual Commissioning (VC) is one of the last process steps, which can only start if all manufacturing components are known and well described. If the behavior models of the manufacturing cells are not fully known, a complete VC cannot be performed. In terms of efficiency, a standardized description of behavior models from the component supplier’s side would bring the VC to new level. Overall, it affects a raise in quality, better component integration in the engineering process and a faster modification of factory plant. This paper describes a way to describe behavior models and how these models can be integrated into an exemplary VC tool.
